I'm really stuck trying to display the 'letter bar A-Z'

This is a new installation using Xampp 1.7.1 , Joomla 1.5.14 and Music Collection Pro on Windows XP.

I haven't modified any css files.

Only the 'extensions' included with Music Collection Pro have been installed.

There is no 'letter bar A-Z' displayed.

Is there an installation step I have missed? Does anything in 'administration' have to be set before it is displayed? The 'installation' document was very minimal with instructions , perhaps you could update it

Where should I start to look for a solution?

Thank you.

you only have to do one thing: on the backend area of MC, click on PARAMETERS button (up-right corner) and SAVE.

this will initialise all the parameters of Music Collection , including the "show A-Z bar".

I know the instructions are minimal but the most important thing, wich is this I just told you, is said there

best,
Germi

Thank you

Hello Germi,

I done the Parameters button just like you said and the letter bar worked straight away, thankyou for this great advice. This component is awsome I love it.

Bye Michelle.

hello,
I can't find your Music Collection order anywhere. can you please send me the order ID? I need it to allow youon the forum and answer your questions

thanks!

best,
Germi

I propose to use this script for the alphabetical menu in the next version of MC

very nice!!

shame it's JQuery. I'll try to adapt it myself to MooTools

Germi

Ok i seem to have a problem as well with the Letter Bar and do not know how to fix it.
My knowledge off CSS or PHP or any coding for that matter is very limited.
That is why use templates and joomla i guess
So if somebody could help me out with this that would be very nice.
Thanks in advance.

Check the problem @ www.lazyrocker.com then Music Collection in the TopMenu.

open http://www.lazyrocker.com/templates/lazyrockerv3/css/template.css

and go to line 1251 and remove the CSS properties for the LI element. that will solve most of your problems!

Germi

Thanks, looks like that did the trick.

I can't change

what do you want to change? ¿?

letter characters are missing in admin panel
homepage I added characters, but does not appear in Control Panel

sorry for my english
I'm using for translations google.translate

thanx for help

Hi,

Running a website for 1 artist, I would like to know if it is possible that the letter bar could be connected to the songs instead of artists?

Hope to hear from you.

Thanks and kind regards

hello!

I'm afraid not... :S it is only for artists. you would need custom coding for that..

Hi Germi,

Thank you for your super fast replies.

A pity that the letter bar can not be connected to songs. Maybe a tip if you would make an update!! :woohoo: :P :kiss:

I did manage to make my first change in renaming the Review into More Info. As I am a complete newbie in Joomla, I am afraid of dammaging things.

Is it possible to change the size of the picture on the album site and to move the small thumbnail, to make it more alined with the Review?

For the rest I am very pleased with MC. So now I can start filling the database with all the songs and albums of V.L.

Thanks so far!

With kind regards,
P.

hello!

thanks! well, changing the size of the album image on the album view is just a matter of CSS... NO PROBLEM!!!!

if you open /components/com_muscol/assets/album.css I think it's on line 45 or near that you find...

.imatge_gran {
border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
width: 430px;
}

this is the property that defines the size of that image.

so..if you just decrease the width, you'll get what you want..

for instance:

width: 250px;

does this help? give it a try!

Germi

Hi Germi,

Thanks that does work.

One more question (for now ): On the page "Songwriters" the cover is a bit out of line... And idea how to make that picture go more to the right?

Thanks for your help!

if you send me a link I'll take a look and answer right away!

http://www.vickyleandros.com/site/index.php?option=com_muscol&view=song&id=3&Itemid=67&lang=en

I think you get then directly to the correct page!
Thanks beforehand!

the best you can do is to add this CSS property in one of your files:

table.taula_cap{
width:100%;
}

I am not sure if we are talking about the same item.

On the link that I did send you you can see that the cover of the record is almost glued to the title on the left.

Strange thing is that in your demo, the picture is completely on the right side, which looks better.

Can upload a screen-dumo if you want?

yes.. the trick I told you was for that, precisely! I understood the first time did you tried it out?

Ehhhh.... any idea on which CSS and ehmmm aboout where????

Sorry, but I don't want the whole thing to collapse

man, just place that piece of CSS code I gave you in your main CSS file!!! that's all!! nothing will colapse!!

JUST TRY IT, GOD DAMNED!!!!! :lol: :lol: (just kidding

Mea culpa, Mea culpa!!!! Don't be angry now

I tried it in the song.css... and yes... this looks much better!

Had you been here, I would have hugged you!

Thanks for your help sofar. You really made my day here!

It is 9.5 stars for the product and 10 (out of 10) for your support!

Have a nice evening.
